headache

Did you try installing Java VM before..... windowsupdate...

When installing XP RC1 Clean install (from hd) .... The system hang when copying files ntldr.. Primary IDE Master : ASUS CD Primary IDE Slave : Free Secondary IDE Master : Free Secondary IDE Slave : CD-R (must be slave... weird but true) On my HPT370 : (NO RAID ARRAY) bios 1.03b1 Primary Master: Maxtor 30GB ATA/100 = NTFS 2 partitions 8 - 22 Secondary Master: Quantum 20 GB ATA/66 = FAT32 (\I386 is there) If I clean install WIN2K then upgrade all is ok... otherwise.. if I attempt a clean install from within win2k (gui mode)... same problem. I'm not sure if it has something to do with hpt370 or not.

I've tryed to burn the ISO and boot on it... now it works..... It's really weird....
